checking an integer to see if it contains a zero

Question

Given an integer, how could you check if it contains a 0, using Java?

1 = Good
2 = Good
...
9 = Good
10 = BAD!
101 = BAD!
1026 = BAD!
1111 = Good

How can this be done?

Answer 1

If for some reason you don't like the solution that converts to a String you can try:

boolean containsZero(int num) {
    if(num == 0)
        return true;

    if(num < 0)
        num = -num;

    while(num > 0) {
        if(num % 10 == 0)
            return true;
        num /= 10;
    }
    return false;
}

This is also assuming num is base 10.

Edit: added conditions to deal with negative numbers and 0 itself.
